Mashup Hall of Fame Part 2

Two more of my favorite mashups. The first one is epic, mashing Rick "Rick-roll" Astley with Nirvana (I will try to keep replacing it as it keeps getting taken down). Apparently someone did the excellent music mix and a second person mixed the video to compliment the music with great results. The second combines Russian folk dance with Run DMC.

That first moment that sought to document an act, an idea, a presence, an existence, a deity...that initial spark of creativity born of desire to intensify experience, enhance a space, beautify a body,paint a cave wall, decorate a tool...that first shuffling of utterances, that first gesture, that first rhythm, that first song...that was when we truly became human.--Kevin
